Buying a used 795 S1 vs S2

[rossonero3]

Hello, 

Came across a recent ad for a 2021 NC795, not sure if it's an S1 or S2 but from the pics and build date it looks to be an S1.  It's 2021 boat but it looks like the build date is October 2019 w/ a 2020 Yamaha 200.  Regardless, considering what they go for new, the price @ $119k seems reasonable for a barely used 795.  I'm on the fence because it's an most likely an S1 not S2, what would be the consensus or opinions on this?  I'm thinking future resale value would be less for one, what other features of the S2 are 'must haves'?  I can't remember off the top of my head what the upgrades/options were on the S2 besides the starboard side door and vents over the windshield. 

Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,

This is a pretty good write up stating the differences between a S1 and S2.

I was considering the S2 myself before getting AN 895. i was impressed the max engine size went from 200hp to 250hp. It does say the hull is a bit deeper and wider but I guess it is down to your own personal use if it is worth the extra money.
Does it mean it was built in 2019, sold to a dealer on 2020 before having the engines fitted and sold in 2021? In the UK they would consider it a 2020 boat at best.

Not sure when new models are released in other countries but below shows a UK 2020 795 for sale which says it is a S2.
